Bendigo Race 11

Battlers Cup (250+Rank) Ht8

Prize Money: $1,530

GOOSEBUMPS RICO (8) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (28.68) at this track in a Grade 5 over 500m. Deserves serious consideration. BLOWING TRUMPETS (3) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fourth by 3.5 lengths (19.64). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CORNHILL WARRIOR (1) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when second (24.58) in a Grade 5 over 425m at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. MASTER YOUR MIND (2) should be thereabouts.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (24.58) at this track over 425m. Should prove hard to beat.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 13 length seventh over 425m at this track. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
